AGRICULTURAL SEEDS

OATS 



IMPORTANT. A change of Seed Oats is necessary and the seed should be re- 

 newed at least every second or third year. Oats grown on the same soil or in the same 

 neighborhood year after year deterioriae rapidly and soon become light, chaffy and 



unprofitable. 



CLYDESDALE (Henderson's) 



The Most Popular High-Grade White Oat 



Since .we introduced this Grand Oat it has steadily and deservedly 

 gained in popularity, until today it is the most popular High-Grade 

 White Oat in the United States. The ultimate financial benefit ac- 

 cruing to the American farmers by the annual distribution of several 

 thousand bushels of Henderson's Clydesdale Oat cannot be overesti- 

 mated. These Oats weigh considerably more per measured bushel 

 than any other variety, so that the produce is wortii for seed purposes 

 at least double the market value of ordinary Oats. No other Oat can 

 show such a record — 75 to 100 bushels per acre, and double the 

 usual quantity of straw. Another most important advantage of 

 Henderson's Clydesdale Oat to the farmer is the fact that they have 

 been thoroughly cleaned by the latest and most improved machinery; 

 and are absolutely free from weed seeds. Sow 3 bushels per acre. {See 

 tllustration.)

LONG'S WHITE TARTAR 



Vigorous Constitution Immense Yielder Very Early 



The earliest, heaviest and most prolific domestic-grown Side Oat 

 cultivation. It is suitable for all soils; of robust and vigorous con- 

 stitution, is remarkably early and an immense cropper; the straw is 

 long and stout, stands up well and does not readily lodge or twist. 

 The heads measure from 8 to ioy^ inches, and the kernels are of im- 

 mense size, thick, plump and heavy; it is undoubtedly the heaviest 

 cropping domestic white Oat ever offered. 



Planted alongside some of the older varieties, it usually yields 

 more than double the number of bushels per acre of any of the other 

 sorts; 100 bushels per acre may be expected of it under good con- 

 ditio;js. 



Its extreme earlines§, great length and strength of straw, thick, 

 plump grains and the heavy yields it is capable of producing give 

 Long's White Tartar all the necessary qualifications which go to 

 make an ideal Oat. Sow 3 bushels per acre. 



Price, 80c per peck; $2.25 per Standard 

 bushel of 32 lbs.; 10-bushel lots and up- 

 ward, per bushel $2.20; 100-bushel lots,

DWARF ESSEX 



Rape is usually ready for pasturing sheep or cattle within six 

 weeks from time of sowing, and one acre will carry twelve to fifteen 

 sheep six weeks to two months. When on the Rape they should 

 at all time have access to salt; but water is not necessary. In the 

 North sow from May to the end of August for fall pasturing, but as 

 it thrives best in cool weather, it should not be sown in the Southern 

 States until September or October for winter pasture. In the lati- 

 tude of New York, Julv or August is the best time to sow. Sow 

 4 lbs. per acre broadcast, 2 to 3 lbs. per acre in drills 



Price, 25c. per lb.; $8.00 per bushel of 50 lbs.; $15.00 per 100 lbs.

VETCH 



SAND OR WINTER Vicia Villosa 



It succeeds and produces good crops on 

 poor, sandj- soils, though it is much more 

 vigorous on good land and grows to a height 

 of 4 to 5 feet. It is perfectly hardy, remain- 

 ing green all winter, and should be sown 

 during August and September, mixed with 

 Rye, which serves as a support for the 

 plants, or in spring with Oats or Barley. 



It is the earliest crop for cutting and a 

 full crop can be taken ofT the land in time 

 for planting spring crops. Being much 

 hardier than Scarlet Clover this is the for- 

 age plant to sow in the Northern States, 

 where Scarlet Clover winter-kills, though 

 it is equally valuable in the Soutii. Every 

 dairyman and stock breeder in the United 

 States should have a field of it. (See 

 illustration.) 



Sow 1 bushel per acre, with }4 bushel of 

 Oats or Barley.
